Elaborate. As to what you just put on your vehicle.. And as Rob so eloquently stated, new LCA's will not be helping you in your quest for "moar LOWER".

ditch the springs and get coilovers. then you can put the ride height as you see fit.

It compromises the spring rate and reduces the handling potential of the car.
